Things are not looking good here in Colorado.
I took this picture on my way home from the grocery store yesterday. This fire is right behind where my husband works. Some dear friends were evacuated and are staying in our basement. So now we are at 8 people and 3 dogs.
Colorado Springs is having a severe emergency. 32,000 people were evacuated last night and the fire there doubled in size over night.
We could use some rain...without the lightning...please.
Praying for all in the area - my family included! Stay safe!

Went to school at UCCS and got married at the academy...I love the springs and am so sad. Will pray for rain and that the firefighters can get the fire contained. Take care!

Praying for you. I have relatives there, but, I don't know how to reach them.

Keeping you and all in the line of the fire in my prayers. My in-laws were evacuated from the fire in NM - it was less than a mile from their home and an aunt and uncle have been evacuated from the Colorado fire for 3 weeks now. They lost the 7 cords of wood stacked by the house so it was close. It is still too dangerous for them to go back home. Praying for rain. We need it badly here in NM too. Stay safe.

I went through this last year with Las Conchas. You have my deepest sympathies and I know that there are a lot of folks south of you hoping things get better soon.

My son and his family live in Colorado Springs. Yesterday the fire was 2 miles away. They were preparing to go to his wife's sister's house. Praying hard that the fire will be contained SOON!
